據(jù)美國鉆井網(wǎng)站2022年5月24日報道，由于歐佩克+備用產(chǎn)能已經(jīng)下降到2020年4月以來的最低水平，歐洲、北美洲和亞洲的經(jīng)合組織成員國的原油庫存下降到了危險的低點。 

這是根據(jù)周一美國銀行（BofA）發(fā)給美國鉆井網(wǎng)站的一份新的全球研究報告得出的結(jié)論。 報告還強調(diào)，“由于市場進入美國駕駛旺季”，中間餾分油和汽油的成品油庫存已降至“危險水平”。 

美銀全球研究報告稱：“因此，精煉原油裂解利潤率最近飆升至創(chuàng)紀錄水平，這加劇了整個石油行業(yè)的波動?！?/p>

報告補充說：“最令人擔憂的是，經(jīng)合組織成員國擁有的戰(zhàn)略石油儲備已經(jīng)很低，未來還將大幅下降，令消費者面臨未來任何負面供應(yīng)沖擊?！?/p>

美銀全球研究報告對其油價預(yù)測提出了風險警告，但也強調(diào)了低庫存水平在推高油價方面的作用。  

報告說：“隨著貨幣政策緊縮和經(jīng)濟衰退，全球石油消費的低迷是我們預(yù)計布倫特原油2022年和2023年的平均每桶102美元的風險，并補充說，更多石油出口到西方國家以外的國家是另一個值得關(guān)注的風險?！?/p>

報告補充說，然而，低庫存水平、有限的備用產(chǎn)能，以及新興市場疫情后的需求復(fù)蘇，應(yīng)會在未來幾個月推動布倫特原油價格突破每桶120美元。

在撰寫本文時，布倫特原油的價格為每桶112.29美元。今年3月7日(123.21美元/桶)、8日(127.98美元/桶)、25日(12.65美元/桶)等北海產(chǎn)布倫特原油的價格多次突破了120美元/桶。

Oil Inventories Down to Dangerously Low Point

Crude oil inventories are down to a dangerously low point across Europe, North America, and OECD Asia just as OPEC+ spare production capacity has dwindled to the lowest levels since April 2020.

That’s according to a new BofA Global Research report, which was sent to Rigzone on Monday. The report also highlighted that petroleum product inventories have fallen to “precarious levels” for middle distillates and gasoline “as the market heads into the peak of the U.S. driving season”.

“As a result, refined petroleum cracks have recently spiked to record levels, contributing to boost volatility across the oil complex,” the BofA Global Research report stated.

“Most worryingly, strategic oil barrels held by OECD governments are already low and set to decline steeply going forward, leaving consumers exposed to any future negative supply shock,” the report added.

The BofA Global Research report warned of risks to BofA Global Research’s oil price forecasts, but also highlighted the role of low inventory levels in pushing prices higher.

“With monetary policy tightening and recession, a downturn in global oil consumption is a risk to our projected Brent average of $102 per barrel for 2022 and 2023,” the report stated, adding that higher petroleum exports to countries outside the West is another risk to watch.

“However, low inventory levels, limited spare capacity, and a post pandemic demand recovery in EMs should combine to press Brent above $120 per barrel over the coming months,” the report added.

At the time of writing, the price of Brent crude oil stood at $112.29 per barrel. Brent has closed above $120 per barrel on several occasions this year, including on March 7 ($123.21 per barrel), March 8 ($127.98 per barrel), and March 25 ($12.65 per barrel).
